you write that mccain should have zero credibility on susan rice and benghazi. why does the washington establishment always seem to turn to mccain for, let's see what the godfather says here. when does this guy become irrelevant? >> ed, you know, he has been respected for a long time for his war service, for what happened to him, and for his early senate career when he was genuinely a senator who worked across party lines, worked on campaign finance, did things to anger his own party, did things to compromise with the other party, took legislating seriously. he did buy a lot of credibility through those actions, but those are ancient history now. ever since 2000 when he lost to george bush. he was very mad about that loss. but he became, at that point, for whatever reason, a very, very loyal right wing republican and then especially after 2008 when he lost to obama and i think he took that very personally, i think he still takes it personally. then a primary from the right in 2010 and he became a tea party guy. this transformation of john mccain has been a very

reporters seemed to press him on the attack on benghazi. he was fired up, emotional as tom fitzgerald put it. do you think that the gop unfairly targeted the president and what do you think of his response? >> i never have seen him react like that where he went after lindsey graham and john mccain who was his opponent four years ago. you know, he said if you have a problem, come after me. and lindsey graham and john mccain did. i think he was right and justified. susan rice is a native washingtonian, went to national cathedral school here. people know her. i think he was absolutely right. she had nothing to do with benghazi but the criticism should have been more at hillary clinton who that's her department, the state department and she was just repeating what was given to her and she was the fall person n this case, i think that was justified. whether or not, because of the controversy, you know, one senator can put a hold on the nomination and they've said that they would. i would be surprised now, just because of the controversy, not bec

this is condoleezza rice, who was talking on fox news about benghazi in october. listen to this. >> when there is a fog of war like this, there are a lot of competing stories coming in, there's a lot of competing information coming in and it takes a little while to know precisely what has happened. there are protocols in place. i have no reason to believe that they weren't followed. but it is not very easy in circumstances like this to know precisely what's going on as it's unfolding. >> isn't that, with respect, senator, sort of a fairer assessment of dr. rice's position, the other dr. rice, susan rice, in the sense there was a fog of war, the cia were clearly passing on what has now transpired to be inaccurate information, they didn't have the whole picture, but when she was put on those shows, she wasn't only talking about benghazi, she talked about iran, israel, and so on. when she was put on those shows, the briefing she received from the cia was what she told the world. now, it turned out to be wrong, as indeed anderson cooper discussed with you yesterday, w
